Not sure when it happened, but it seems that all the gas stations near me in Idaho have switched from 92 octane supreme to 91 octane. I know it's only one point of difference, but it's still enough to piss a good man off. As if it wasn't bad enough paying nearly the highest price per gallon nation wide, we're now stuck with less octane.



While I'm venting, might as well ask a related question...what's the current consensus on the 90% gasolene, 10% ethanol fuels out there? One station down the road from me has it, and it's at least a slightly higher octane, but not sure I really trust it. I seem to remember from long ago that ethanol mix fuels and the rotary didn't play well together.



Thanks!

Travis
